"When you see this movie, kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist, when we're done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable." - Michael Bay -- Source: Comic Book Movies

...Did this man even read/see TMNT? Just... why? Not to mention, what can Micheal Bay do with this? About the only thing he specializes in is **** blowing up, but the TMNT's don't blow up much **** in general. Unless... Micheal decides that they can...

My god...

(Heaven forbid if he decides to make April the 'protaganist', ala Spike...)

Yep. He's going to make the Turtles into Godzilla aliens that occasionally show up to help the US military battle against the evil Mecha Godzilla alien forces of the Foot Clan while Casey Jones tries to keep the Turtles hidden from his parents and eventually saves the day by running the plot macguffin of the movie into the end zone to score both the touchdown to save all of humanity for team US military and Megan Fox who will be playing April O'Neil.

The tl;dr is that he's basically going to take the Transformer movies and replace all instances of Transformer characters with TMNT characters.

Hopefully the next movie he makes will do the same with the Care Bears.

Fake Edit: And the second(live action) TMNT still features a musical number by Vanilla Ice. Watch it again, there are so many subtle jokes you could make about that film.

I didn't even need to click on that link to know exactly what you are talking about, and I would love Michael Bay forever if he went with this instead. Fortunately we can all rest assured that he'll never even veer near it since there isn't enough pedestrian nor pro US Military action to warrant even a single glance from the master of the Bay-splosion.

Also I can already see Master Splinter being both black and the only good guy to die. This movie's gonna be a massive trainwreck.
